Well, if you ask Van's, none. It is aerobatic solo only (well, ok, two really light people and a splash of fuel

) and you can assume utility category above 1375#, 1600# for you -7 drivers. Utility is +4.4/-1.8G. Specifically, 'For operational gross weights above this figure (max aerobatic gross), aerobatic maneuvers should not be flown.' That section has pretty much all the design information you will get out of Van's. They mention a calculated +9G breaking strength which is 150% of the recommended max G, but they also discourage excursions into that realm. Realistically, I think you'd need a G-suit to have fun over about 3-4G. Anyway, Van's has traditionally been conservative and close-mouthed about their design criteria, probably for good cause. I'm sure they don't want to encourage the kind of hedging that the first post suggests due to the real possibility of litigation. Look at their reaction to the Harmon Rocket. Their stance is understandable if you realize that even tacit approval can lead to settlements in our court system.
The flip side of that is that you are (usually) both the manufacturer and the test pilot. Nothing stops you from declaring a different limit and testing it. And if it works (again, the Rocket) then you win! But if you're wrong, Van's can say they never approved the change.
Sorry, Steve, I'm not trying to be obtuse. Van's has never outright published the non-aerobatic G-limits for anything other than the -9 (and now the 10) that I know of. However, if you do the kind of calculation that Ted did you will get a load well over the next limiting category (at least in the US): utility. So it's been a safe assumption that utility limits are the max when over aerobatic weight. A less conservative approach is what Ted is proposing; instead of a step function from aerobatic to utility loads you get a calculated maximum load which results in a maximum G for any given weight. As Mel points out, it's not that simple. There are load moment considerations, for example. 'Twere me in the seat, I'd err on the side of caution.
